Aimee, I can't tell you how much I am enjoying working on your blues series. The licks are awesome, and the way you teach them makes total sense to me. As a classically trained pianist who was a slave to the notes on the page but with a deep appreciation for jazz and blues, this is a liberating experience for me. Thanks and keep these great vignettes coming. You are a gifted teacher.
40 years ago I used to get goosebumps listening to Spy Hunter music while playing it... Anyway I didn't know Oscar Peterson yet. Thank you for sharing this memory. And the lesson, of course ;)
That’s exactly how I started playing right hand with my first left hand shuffle pattern, and I say when you are just starting this style, just play anything in the right hand to start..... it’s harder than it looks! Great video!
Oscar Peterson had an uncanny ability of making things sound easy. Practice makes all the difference, which you so eloquently displaced. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video, and especially for that rythm exercise in the end! I don't know much about music theory so it really helped me get the "groove" of the pattern
As others have mentioned, Henry Mancini used that bass pattern for the 1958 Peter Gunn theme. He used it again in 1962 in a slightly more uptempo style with the "Baby Elephant Walk." Mancini cites Down The Road A Piece by the Will Bradley Trio as his inspiration, but as you've probably already guessed, the pattern was around long before Bradley. like most boogie woogie bass patterns, its roots are lost to the sands of time.
Aimee I already had commented two weeks ago..but I noticed something else essentially the base is playing a blues riff the tonic f the third flat third five six this is also a bluegrass run on guitar in key of g .
You are so adorable! Your distractions are so much fun. Whether killing a fly or being transported to a video game score. It engages the viewer and makes you real. And oh so musical...
This is the Albert Ammons left hand pattern from Boogie Woogie Stomp. That recording predates Oscar's use of it. Many boogie players borrowed this pattern.
its peter gun and Oscar would get a kick out of you and these bass lines go way back to when the keyboards were first invented and have been work on for years and yes I believe Oscar was one of the best and he would love you I know I do like a brother great videos keep up the good work Eddie
Help! - I got the left hand down firmly, but to play a simple three notes with the right is insanely weird, as my attention goes to the melody notes and the timing, my left hand WANTS TO STOP! hehe - but I will get over that in time, as this left hand boogie is very busy and rythmic, and playing over it, even singing, is just hard at first.
It is incredibly exciting if you can diss the frustration of not being able to do something and look for solutions; one I found is to play the exact same thing with my right hand, and I made it; then I recognized the theme of Night Train is exactly in this pattern, and played those notes, took a bit more practice funnily enough. But there is big progress already, compared to the frozen hands.
Shannon Nugent Did a little sleuthing. Peter Gunn was released in 1959 for the TV show. So many versions of Boogie Woogie Etude or Boogie Blues Etude or Blackwater Blues but the question is, who had that left hand first? Did Peterson play it before 1974?
Yes - Oscar played this as a kid, and he wasn't the first!! There was a 15 minute radio show in Montreal, Canada, where young Oscar played mostly boogie style, when he was 15-16. Since Oscar is from 1925...
wow great job at breaking it down .. you really understand how awkwardly strange it is to actually play what you are watching ... especially anything remotely Oscar ..
reminds me of the early Munsters...kinda....sorta.....but ya really gotta listen for it.....hahahah Spy Hunter?? Peter Gunn Theme .... Mancini :-) If you played with your high school band anywhere on Planet Earth during football season or marched in the fall festival parades in the late 1950's, early 1960's, you played two songs .......Peter Gunn was one (in the stands and at half time). The second one was on parade........... I'm not telling; you have to guess.
@@AimeeNolte how do you do that? I have always enjoyed music and I sing. I can accompany myself playing my tenor line. Due to a birth defect I've have only one finger and a thumb on my right hand. So the idea of being able to learn to play a few cords is great.

I was scared, but you made it approachable, Thank you! U cool!
So clear a great teacher..
you're hilarious and this is a dope tutorial
Aimee that reminds me of the Munsters theme music and I vaguely remember get smart back in the sixties having something this also.
PIANOSTYLE100 it totally totally does. Lol

Not remotely similar. As others have mentioned, it's more or less the Peyer Gunn theme, which you can hear on yt.

Thank you Leslie
Great vid! This bassline reminds me of the Peter Gunn Theme from the blues brothers.
peter gunn theme. just subscribed
Jacobus Scheeres nailed it. Thank you! 🙌🏼😝
I replied before reading this. I just want the credit, too.
Ha ha
Hey thanks for the video I definitely know what I’m practising for the next hour
This this this! Really great tutorial. Lovit!

Aimee, can you do a series on prof longhair

Nice Amy. I think the game music is peter Gunn theme.
its peter gun and Oscar would get a kick out of you and these bass lines go way back to when the keyboards were first invented and have been work on for years and yes I believe Oscar was one of the best and he would love you I know I do like a brother great videos keep up the good work Eddie
Edward Lee thanks so much, Eddie! I appreciate that!
Improvisations need pauses after a line. You can practice by trying to insert punctuation into your comments.

mcrohof hey! Great job! It will come. Keep at it! Ahhhh so frustrating...but fun, right

mcrohof what a great idea! Both things! 💡
want to see more of you ;-)
It really was the Peter Gunn theme, circa 1950's.
Who came first, Oscar Peterson or Peter Gunn? (John Nugent wants to know).
Shannon Nugent bahahahaha you guys are the best

Bit late to comment, but I loved spy hunter as a kid, haha
That's a pretty standard Boogie pattern (my kind of thing) but Oscar was the man.
Dark One 🙌🏼
That was originally the theme song to "Peter Gunn" TV show.
THE TUBA PART
wow great job at breaking it down .. you really understand how awkwardly strange it is to actually play what you are watching ... especially anything remotely Oscar ..
reminds me of the early Munsters...kinda....sorta.....but ya really gotta listen for it.....hahahah
Spy Hunter?? Peter Gunn Theme .... Mancini :-)

That is theme to Peter Gunn
Jacobus is right, Its PETER GUNN. March, 2019
Yeah, Peter Gunn :)
for me it's the munsters theme
Peter Gunn theme
Peter Gunn themr
The bass line should be F-F-Ab-F-A-A-Bb-A instead of F-F-Ab-A-F-F-Bb-A :-).
spy hunter
call it "one note blues," make it a song, such as one note samba
This is great but it would be great if it could be demonstrated in slow motion for novice players like myself.
Don’t forget that you can slow down TH-cam videos without the pitch changing.

I just located the speed dial, thanks
